Greater funding for mental health needed

The Parliament Street think-tank has called for
greater investment in mental health services after figures emerged showing
police in England and Northern Ireland handled almost 240,000 incidents
involving people with mental health issues during 2016. A Government
spokesperson said: "We're investing £30m in providing more alternative places of
safety, have more than halved the number of people detained under a mental
health section in a police cell in the last year and are entirely banning the
use of police stations for this purpose for under 18s."BBC
